BATON ROUGE — For the sixth-straight year, LSU will open the college football season ranked in the Top 10 as the Tigers are ranked No. 9 in the USA Today Top 25 Preseason Coaches’ Poll, which was released this morning.

LSU is coming off an 8-5 season a year ago, which culminated with a 38-3 win over Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Last year, LSU opened the year ranked No. 6 in the Coaches’ Poll.

A total of five Southeastern Conference teams are ranked in the top 25, including four in the top 10.

Florida leads the way as the defending national champions are No. 1 in the preseason poll. Other SEC teams in the rankings include Alabama at No. 5, Ole Miss at No. 10 and Georgia at No. 13. All four of those teams appear on LSU’s schedule this year.

LSU opens its fifth season under head coach Les Miles on Sept. 5 when the Tigers travel to Seattle to face Washington in a nationally televised game on ESPN.
